EXHIBIT 14
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Ivy European Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"):

         In our opinion,  the accompanying  statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations
and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects,  the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 1999, the
results of its  operations  and the changes in its net assets for the period May
3,  1999  (commencement  of  operations)  through  December  31,  1999,  and the
financial  highlights  for each of the periods  presented,  in  conformity  with
accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements  and  financial  highlights  (hereafter  referred  to  as  "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audit. We
conducted our audit of these  financial  statements in accordance  with auditing
standards  generally  accepted in the Unites States,  which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements,  assessing the accounting  principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit,  which included  confirmation of securities  owned at
December 31, 1999 by correspondence  with the custodian and brokers,  provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
